Really. I really really loved it. For me, it was a very good choice to start reading Stephen King and I highly recommend. I’ve already chose the next one: 11/22/63.

I truly enjoyed the Sun Down Motel. The twist at the end was interesting, for sure, but I rated similar to you. It was a bit of a step outside of what I usually read, but I'm happy I took that step and opened that door. I have not read The Shining, but I am thinking October will be a great month to read it. I would encourage you to try Carrie, it's one of my Stephen King favorites. It's a different writing format, but a relatively fast read. And, Alex North is definitely on my list of future purchases. 😊

What a great list! I've read half of them and love all but one (Gone Girl, sadly, doesn't do it for me). Sundown Motel was my kind of spooky. Grady Hendrix is excellent pulp with pathos. And The Shining is an absolute classic. You should definitely make time for Salem's Lot this fall. It is simultaneously a love story, a moving portrait of a small town, and a downright frightening horror novel. Based on what you said here, you would LOVE it. This was my first time stumbling across your channel, and you won me over. Liked and subscribed! Thanks for putting out excellent videos like this one.

Did you read "Salem's Lot" in the Stephen King omnibus you've got? Highly recommended...some other oldies you might like are "The Exorcist" by William Peter Blatty (much better and scarier than the movie), "The Stand" by King (probably his magnum opus), "Coma" by Robin Cook, and "Rosemary's Baby" by Ira Levin. They'll keep you up at night.

I have four favorite Stephen King books, that I read voraciously when I got them: The Shining, 'Salem's Lot, The Dead Zone and The Stand. All other King books pale in comparison to me. My favorites classified: scary: The Shining. Creepy/exciting: 'Salem's Lot. Emotional: The Dead Zone. Epic: The Stand. Since you like thrillers I highly, highly HIGHLY recommend Red Dragon and Silence Of The Lambs by Thomas Harris. Still the grandfather of the 'serial killer' genre, as far as I am concerned, because he is the first writer to actually speak to the FBI's behavioral unit to come up with not only his killers, but Hannibal Lecter, as well. Although the movie for Silence is the best adaptation I have ever seen from page to screen I still recommend you read it so you can get into the mind of Clarice Starling. Jodie Foster did her justice, but as we know with books she couldn't deliver those internal monologues we all have. I did not care for Hannibal, or Hannibal Rising, as they are huge let downs from the first two. But read Red Dragon first, since that was first. Thanks for the recommendations.

If you're interested in more Grady Hendrix books, I REALLY enjoyed and recommend "My Best Friend's Exorcism" I don't even usually like that sub-genre of horror but not only did I like it, it's one of my favorite novels.

Love the fall decorations on your bookshelf! The Shining is so good... so different from the movie!!! So so different, but I loved the book way more. I think you should read Misery if you haven't, that's also one of my favorite Stephen King books... outside of The Dark Tower, anyway. That series totally blew my mind. Always wanted to get around to The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo series. Good recommendations :) I'll have to check out a few that I haven't read before.

Jessie Mae IMO one of the best movie book comparisons. Especially considering Kathy Bates. I read the book after I watched the movie and she couldn’t have done a better job

I've definitely heard that Behind Her Eyes is a love/hate book. I believe I have it, so I'll try to read it this fall! Haha oh man, Southern Book Club was super fun (but there were definitely moments where I wanted to throw the book across the room). The Sun Down Motel is on my list to read this fall as well! YESSSS The Shining is excellent. I think that's also my favorite, though I do really like 'Salem's Lot and The Green Mile as well. I was literally looking at Behind Closed Doors the other day! I'm glad to hear that it's worthwhile. I'm also planning on reading The Whisper Man this fall! Haha oh my goodness, I also just got a copy of The Dry.
